A number of specialists in German studies have joined forces in
this book to paint a comprehensive picture of Germany since
unification. Starting from the 1989 revolution, the book reviews
the fall of East Germany, including a chapter on how the event was
experienced by observers and participants.
The New Germany provides a picture of contemporary Germany from a
variety of perspectives, establishing relationships between recent
political events and society and cultural life. Contributors
include distinguished specialists in German Studies, including John
Sandford, Michael Patterson, Karl Koch and Charles Jeffery. Part 1
sets the scene, discussing the demise of East Germany from
historical perspective and unification in terms of the social
problems that have been provoked. Part 2 covers the new political
structure and Germany's role as a European power as well as the
social, educational and economic problems generated, especially in
the east, by the western takeover of the former GDR. Part 3 is an
extensive section devoted to culture and the arts, with studies of
the media, literature, theatre, film and language.
